The symposium brought together professors from the three theological schools, as well as students, clergy and other conference participants.

Maira Myrogianni, Secretary General for Greeks Abroad and Public Diplomacy at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, emphasized the Greek government's commitment to highlighting our country's historic role in the Middle East, while stressing the particular importance of the Patriarchate of Antioch in this context. The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Ioannis-Michael Loverdos also addressed the conference via a video message.

The International Symposium came to a successful close on Thursday May 8, with the prospect of similar meetings in Greece and Lebanon.
